Bug Description
Instead of only allowing users to share movies that have been uploaded to YouTube, we could enable many more movies to be shared if we let the users choose to share their movie at the time of creation.
Recommended changes:
(1) Move "share movie" checkbox from upload dialog to movie creation dialog; set to on by default but provide users with an option to change the default behavior.
(2) Create a mechanism so that only the user who creates a movie can upload it to youtube.
(3) Update video feed so that all shared movies are displayed.
(4) Movies that have been uploaded to YouTube can also be differentiated both in the users history, and perhaps in the video feed or a future video gallery using an icon or something similar.
